ReNFT is a method that repairs mode collapse in diffusion generators after reward post‑training by internally recalibrating probability mass. It identifies suppressed alternatives through anti‑hub prompts and uses two policy‑dominated routes to generate counterfactual proposals, then applies reward‑based ranking and a joint‑and‑paired NFT update to restore diversity while preserving reward. Experiments on PickScore and GenEval show that ReNFT retains almost all of the original reward while significantly boosting diversity metrics.

arXiv:2606. 31371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When large language model (LLM) agents adapt their behavior through evaluator feedback, systematic evaluator biases propagate into the agent's learned strategy distribution - a phenomenon termed evaluator preference coupling.

arXiv:2608. 05162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pooling is a consequential but under-examined design choice in decoder-only concept representation work: practitioners must collapse token-level hidden states into a passage-level vector, yet no shared protocol exists for comparing this choice across concepts, models, and tasks.

XTC (Exclude Top Choices) is a lightweight, head‑aware decoding operator that improves diversity in autoregressive language models by removing overly probable tokens that dominate the next‑token distribution. It works by identifying tokens above a plausibility threshold, probabilistically excluding the dominant choices, and renormalizing the remaining distribution. Across 60 experiments on models such as Gemma 3 and DeepSeek R1, XTC boosts Distinct‑2 scores by 11–15 % and cuts repeat trigrams by 27–47 %, while a Mechanical Turk study shows a 62.3 % preference for XTC‑generated text without loss of fluency.
